AccuWeather Winter Prediction For Minnesota

MINNESOTA — Don’t look now, but winter is coming. Accuweather has released a new, long-range winter weather forecast that’s predicting an especially cold and snowy winter for Minnesota.

AccuWeather long-range forecaster Paul Pastelok says the entire Midwest will mid-winter arctic cold.

“Arctic air is expected to surge into the region at points during the season, although it’s too soon to tell exactly where the coldest conditions will take hold,” AccuWeather states.

“Residents will want to stock up on shovels, as an above-normal season for snowfall is in the offing.”

Across the United States, AccuWeather’s winter prediction is showing an above-normal season for snowfall in the Northeast and Midwest, heavy rainfall in the Southeast, and ample snowfall in the Southwest and California.

What Do The Farmers’ Almanac And Old Farmer’s Almanac Predict For Winter?

AccuWeather isn’t the only organization that’s released a 2019-20 winter prediction, but consensus can be hard to find when it comes to weather.

Both the Farmers’ Almanac — and the forecasters at the rival Old Farmer’s Almanac — are predicting a harsh winter for Minnesota.

Both outfits use secret formulas to predict the weather that they keep closely guarded, and only time — and winter — will tell which one has it right.
